The Redskins held an open locker room this morning as they prepare for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and it was the first time we’ve been able to speak with Redskins Defensive Coordinator Jim Haslett since the Redskins loss to the Bengals last Sunday.

With the pick of a potential franchise quarterback in Robert Griffin III came the promise of an offense which could be more than perennially stagnant. Well, the Redskins finally have their offense but not before the defense took a complete nosedive into the tank.

Mike Shanahan said his team lost its poise in the final minutes of their 31-28 loss to the Rams. When Josh Morgan demonstrated a lack of self-control by throwing the ball back in the face of chirping defender Cortland Finnegan, it was reminiscent of another hot head Redskins receiver not too long ago.
